I wish the conversation you’re about to listen to had been available for me years ago, not because I like to hear myself speak. Conversations like this could have helped me navigate some of the challenges my wife and I faced in our adoption journey.
Hi Neighbor,
Returning on this episode of Anchors of Encouragement, is my neighbor from Alabama, Erich Nelson. Erich was first on the show in <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/53-want-to-resolve-conflict-empower-your-adopted-child/id1637012425?i=1000602187859'>Episode 53</a>.
Erich is back today to discuss an important topic for adoptive parents and adopted children to understand – what it means to be stuck in survivor mode.
You get to be a fly on the wall while Erich and I share our stories and struggles with survivor mode.
Daily Doable: Listen, REALLY listen to this conversation and allow it to take you wherever it does, EVEN IF that place makes you feel uncomfortable. 
Hope and healing are on the way.
Your Neighbor, 
Tim

**Top 50 Christian Parenting Podcast**

Did you finally realize your dream of having a family only to have your happily ever after turn into a nightmare? Are you constantly second-guessing your parenting, anxious about whether your child will make good choices and remain faithful? Have you neglected yourself to the point that it’s taken a personal toll on you? 

If you’re a struggling adoptive parent searching for answers in your parenting journey, you’re in the right place.

Hi Neighbor, 
Welcome to Adoption Struggles and Support. I’m Tim, an adoptive parent, adoption life coach, and ambassador of encouragement. 

I too felt the joy of having a family of my own, and I wish we could be like other families. But I found myself up late at night, anxious about my adopted child’s future and asking myself, will my child be okay? Where did I go wrong? 

It was only by grabbing a lifeline from God and my friends that I was able to navigate the challenges of adoptive life. And now I can’t wait to share everything I’ve learned with you. 

My mission is to teach Christian adoptive parents how to be okay even when their kids aren’t by anchoring them in biblical principles. 

If you’re ready for real and raw talk with strategies that lead to peace beyond comprehension, so you not only survive, but thrive in life’s storms, this podcast is for you.

Anchors of Hope and Healing are on the way.
Your Neighbor,
Tim
